The following is a description of the counseling services that are available to your
Southeast student.

Counseling and Disability Services (CDS) offers short-term individual, couples, and
group counseling for a variety of concerns. Students come in for counseling to help
them with issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, academic motivation, and relationship
problems. A student’s first contact with the center is through a screening appointment
with a counselor to determine the severity of the situation, how to best address their
concerns, and to determine if an off-campus referral is appropriate. The plan may
include individual counseling at CDS, a referral to a practitioner in the community,
group counseling, attending a workshop, consultation with a psychiatrist or Family
Nurse Practitioner for medication, or referral to other campus academic support services.

What to do when concerned about your student.The counselors at the Counseling and Disability Services are available to talk to
you during the day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 573-986-6191. Counselors are able
to help you with many of the questions or concerns that you have about your student’s
well-being. These questions may relate to your student’s needs or where the needed
assistance can be obtained. In as much as the counseling staff is eager to help you
with your concerns or questions about your student, confidentiality is an essential
aspect of the counseling relationship which limits the information they can share
with you. Confidentiality in the counseling relationship is protected in the state
of Missouri, and this prevents the counseling staff from discussing your student’s
counseling in any way without written permission from your student. Counselors cannot
confirm in any way if your student has been seen at the CDS.

In all situations, counselors are NOT able to initiate contact with students. Students
need to contact Counseling and Disability Services for services. As parents of Southeast
students, please feel free to contact the CDS if you have any concerns about your
student, want the center to be aware of something concerning your student, or have
questions about our services and how to access them.
